Single Point of Contact (SPOC) Program
One of FIBA’s missions is to promote basketball globally as an energetic, healthy, and athletic sport. We have established various structures, processes and programs to enhance integrity.
These are primarily aimed to help with the prevention of doping, competition manipulation, as well as preventing harassment and abuse in the sport.
One of the main preventative measures in place is the establishment of Single Point of Contact (SPOC) Program.
FIBA has facilitated implemented a network of integrity specialists within the global basketball community by encouraging instructing National members Federations members to appoint a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) with responsibility for integrity and also maintaining direct contact with FIBA.
They are responsible for implementing FIBA's Code of Ethics and Integrity at a national level, ensuring an appropriate integrity-related education within their country, as well as the creation, maintenance, or management of the national reporting platform.
FIBA helps each nominated Single Point of Contact (SPOC) by ensuring the sharing of best practice, answering questions or queries around integrity and by building an engaging and comprehensive support network.
With the aim of sharing experiences and creating a strong network of individuals, FIBA is organising a yearly SPOC meeting in person.
